About

Dr. Mary Cotten helps clients address their concerns by identifying issues and developing clear strategies to reach personal and practical goals. She brings 30 years of clinical experience and is licensed to practice psychology in both Texas and New Mexico.

Her work has focused on a broad range of challenges including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and family-of-origin matters, career concerns, and adjustments to life transitions. Dr. Cotten primarily uses a cognitive-behavioral approach to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns that interfere with acting in their own best interest.

She aims to create a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere and often receives feedback that she is a good listener and easy to talk to. Dr. Cotten prefers video sessions to allow for both visual and verbal interaction, but she is also available by phone.
